Russians Think Bomb Downed Sinai Plane

Russian officials now believe a bomb was the likely culprit in the demise of a Metrojet flight in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula late last month, according to U.S. intelligence officials monitoring them. Both Russia and Egypt were initially skeptical of terorrism reports because of the implications for their military involvement and tourist industries, respectively. An official explanation for the crash, which killed more than 200 people, has not yet been released.
